Day 261 // video; action - sector 1 (driver's ed)
video

[ Waking up to Haruka is always a great thing, right? ~~Just ask Michiru.~~ Despite having been here for a few weeks, Haruka hasn't formally introduced herself over the network, so when she starts the feed up she coughs to clear her throat and gives the camera a smile. She's leaning on her motor scooter, and she's surrounded by bicycles. ]

Yo, everyone. If we haven't met before, I'm Tenoh Haruka - your new Driver's Ed teacher. We'll be meeting days 1 and 4 at 11, outside the sports center in sector 1. [ She laughs. ] Sure, we can't drive anything too fancy here, but I think we'll make do!

[ But enough cryptic references to her souped-up Vespa. The grin returns. ] Today we're playing with bicycles, so if you've never seen one of these before - [ she pats the handlebars ] - or never learned, or just want some exercise, we'd love to have you. I'll bring the bikes. You bring the balance.

See you then! [ A wink, and she cuts the feed. Wow, advertising feels weird. ]

action - driver's ed class

[ As promised, Haruka has something like half a dozen bicycles, complete with helmets and water bottles, lined up outside the sports center. She's in a tracksuit and is doing stretches while she waits for her class to convene, and she's also brought along a toolkit and enough training wheels for everyone, if necessary. Plans for the class involve getting everyone a bike, finding out who knows how to ride one and who doesn't, showing the different parts of a bicycle and how it works, and then practicing by riding around the area. She'll save taking a bike tour of the dome for the next class, unless everybody who shows up already knows how to ride.

Also, students beware. She's friendly for one-on-one, but Mentor Mode!Haruka can be a little strict.

((ETA: A mingle thread for riding around in class has been added!)) ]

	[He does catch up and they reach the wall around the same time. Sarah's laugh pretty hard though.] See? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action devine_braid 2014-03-23 05:41 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, yeah. Still, though. Now we gotta answer to the teacher. [Though, he had a feeling Haruka wasn't going to be too sore about it. It was clear Sarah had experience on a bicycle, so he wasn't going to say anything about it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Duo. [He leaned over the handlebars to reach out a hand in greeting.] Nice to meet ya. So, whaddya call the place you're from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action labyrinthrunner 2014-03-29 01:50 pm UTC (link)
	[Sarah hesitantly takes his hand and gives it a quick shake.] Home? [Then his question makes a bit more sense.] Oh right. Um... Massachusetts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, yeah? I'm sorta from Earth. Do you have space colonies where you're from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action labyrinthrunner 2014-04-01 01:03 am UTC (link)
	Sorta?... What do you mean space colonies? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Big giant space stations that people live and work and have families and do all sorts of things in. They've got trees and parks and tall buildings and roads... and basically you can live up there almost the same way you can live on Earth.

[He was getting better at this. He wasn't used to having to explain space colonies, but, with all the people who weren't familiar with the idea of them around the prison, it was getting easier.

	Really! People always talk about that... like in the future on the moon or something! But I didn't think it'd ever happen! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action devine_braid 2014-04-07 07:22 pm UTC (link)
	No? Do you have any ability to get into space where you're from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action labyrinthrunner 2014-04-08 02:19 am UTC (link)
	Astronauts can. With a lot of rocket fuel and stuff. Well... usually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action devine_braid 2014-04-08 02:21 am UTC (link)
	Huh... so things are still pretty early on in space travel. Well, compared to where we're at in my version of Earth. Well, your world has a lot of growing to do. That must actually be pretty cool... to be able to see it all get started. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action labyrinthrunner 2014-04-08 08:26 pm UTC (link)
	[Sarah nodded.] People say we'll be living there in thirty years or so. I don't know though. I can't imagine living anywhere but on Earth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action devine_braid 2014-04-10 06:33 pm UTC (link)
	Thirty years, huh? Hm. Well, things did stagnate for a while before they picked back up again. It took us a long time to get where we are. What year is it for you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action labyrinthrunner 2014-04-10 10:47 pm UTC (link)
	It's 1986. Um... the space shuttle Challenger? It blew up in January. People are a little leery right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action devine_braid 2014-04-11 01:27 am UTC (link)
	Oooh. [Duo nodded, pretty numb about the event since it was so far in the past for him.] Yeah. I remember hearing about that. Like way in the past. We're in AC197... which is probably like... I dunno... the year 24-something for you. I think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action labyrinthrunner 2014-04-11 08:05 pm UTC (link)
	Oh... so from really really far in the future. [She doesn't read so much science fiction, so she doesn't feel she can properly talk about it] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action devine_braid 2014-04-13 04:03 am UTC (link)
	Uh, yeah. It could be. [It sounded far, anyway. He didn't usually think about that kind of stuff.] But, hey. At least you're kind of familiar with the idea. There have been people here from so far back in time that you tell them about flying through the stars and they think you're nuts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action labyrinthrunner 2014-04-13 02:56 pm UTC (link)
	Really? I just... I mean, most of the people I've talked to are only about twenty years in my future. So I'd still be alive when they are. I didn't realize there were people from the past too! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action devine_braid 2014-04-13 10:38 pm UTC (link)
	Well, a lot do seem to be from around the turn of the century... you know, like, 1900 into 2000. But, yeah. I've seen a few from almost medieval like places. I don't know that there are any here now, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action labyrinthrunner 2014-04-14 03:13 am UTC (link)
	There've been Medieval people here! Like Kings and Queens? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action devine_braid 2014-04-14 07:42 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, yeah. We had a king from medieval Japan a while back. Long flowing robes and everything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
